The Mansion House in Dublin has been transformed into a winter wonderland for the opening of the annual live animal crib.
People are being invited to visit the sheep, goat and donkey at their new city centre residence and make a donation to charity.

The IFA has been teaming up with Dublin City Council since 1995 to bring the crib to life and this year they've created a winter wonderland for children to walk through which includes candy canes, toy soldiers and Santa’s sleigh.
Kim Buckley has this report:
People who visit the crib are being encouraged to make a donation which will be distributed to various charities.
And there was a very special visit all the way from Lapland.
